Blue Screen of Death whenever i try and format my pc.

Ive been having major problems with my PC so i reformmated my hdd. All goes well until windows setup boots up from my hdd for the first time after setup files have been copied - blue screen of death. I restarted my PC, same thing. So i figured it was just a one off setup glitch and tried to reformatted it again. Now when either i press 'R' for system recovery or after i accept the liscensing agreement in windows setup i get: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. Any help will be EXTREMELY appreciated!

Like I said it is tricky. It would appear to be a driver problem as I understand it. So you may have some success it you take out anything that is not absolutely necessary and try again. This will still be a problem if it is the SATA driver. Did you cahck for compatability?

Could say as I don't know about these things. Guess would be that memtest test certain parameters and your problem was out side these. How's that for a non answer . You might get a result from memtest86+, this may be more thorough.
